Bushfire near Busselton under control

Fire crews battling a bushfire east of Busselton have brought the blaze under control.

The fire started about 2;30 pm this afternoon, burning on both sides of the Ludlow Hithergreen Road.

A bushfire watch and act alert for people in Ludlow, Tutunup and Ruabon has now been reduced to an advice alert.

Fire and Emergency Services Authority spokesman Danny Mosconi says people in the area should remain vigilant.

"We still want people to remain aware, stay alert and be careful on the roads as there could still be a bit of smoke around, and there will be emergency services personnel crossing over roads and driving on the roads," he said.
